Beginners Self Defence Class

I booked the beginners self defence class for my daughter who has just started secondary school. From the very first call to Richard for enquiring to attending the class, Richard communicated very effectively making us feel at ease with any questions we had.

All the information was very detailed and well thought out.

As a mum I was able to sit through the entire class and was made super comfortable. My daughter loved it and was very well looked after.

The techniques taught are very well practiced in the session – all students were made so comfortable, teaching was moulded according to the group on the day and there was ‘no you have to attitude’ which meant everyone did whatever they were comfortable with rather feeling any pressure.

Training venue was great and easy to find. Overall I would highly recommend this course to everyone, I’m signing us up to the family sessions already.

Thank you again 🙏
